The majority of scientists are reporting that they have failed to reproduce experiments, including their own, leading to what some are calling the “reproducibility crisis.” Greater steps are required to increase the reliability and trust in published findings. But what factors are contributing to this scientific ‘crisis,’ and how can simple pipetting solutions be implemented to combat it?
This white paper outlines the extent of the crisis, deliberates five leading factors contributing to unrepeatable experiments, and discusses how good pipette choices and techniques can ensure poor reproducibility isn’t due to inaccurate liquid handling.
